Have you ever wondered why some people are always on the move, some love challenges, and others enjoy a slow, peaceful life? According to Ayurveda, our body and mind are ruled by three energies called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These energies decide how we feel, think, and grow!
Let's make it simple to understand! Imagine your body as a car 🚗. To run smoothly, it needs three types of energy – wind, fire, and earth. These are your superpowers! Each person has a mix of all three, but one or two may be stronger in them. Let’s find out what they mean!
Vata – The Wind Energy (Like a Balloon 🎈)
Vata is the energy of movement. It helps you run, jump, talk, and even think quickly! It’s like the wind that moves things around.
